Fall Out Boy's performance in Glasgow was a perfect blend of their greatest hits and music from their new album “So Much (For) Stardust”. The energy was electrifying from the moment they hit the stage, and the crowd's enthusiasm was contagious with many donning fancy dress in true “Halloween Concert” style.
The band kicked off the show with “Love from the other side” from their new album, So Much (for) Stardust. Included in the set list were classics like "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs," which sent the audience into a frenzy of nostalgia. Patrick Stump's vocals were as powerful as ever, and Pete Wentz's stage presence was captivating. The chemistry between the band members was evident, making the performance feel like a reunion.

The stage production was a visual feast, with dynamic lighting, eye-catching graphics, and a creative set design that included a large Doberman head that will forever remain in my memory as a favourite stage prop which added an extra layer of excitement to the performance. The crowd's sing-alongs added to the overall experience.
In the end, Fall Out Boy's performance in Glasgow was a testament to their enduring appeal and musicianship. They seamlessly bridged the gap between their greatest hits and new material, leaving the audience with a sense of satisfaction and a desire for more.
